Kristina Johnson, Cathy Zoi, Amory Lovins, Sylvia Earle, Ted Turner, T. Boone Pickens, James Cameron, Carl Safina, Jayni Chase, Woody Tasch, Lester Brown, Wesley Clark, Bill Richardson, Bill Ritter, Rhone Resch, and others among the more than 100 participants gathering to discuss nation’s energy future.

It's an all-star energy line-up at an intimate gathering of the nation’s energy leaders in Aspen, August 19-22, now open to participants. "The timing couldn’t be better for this important dialogue among our country's most powerful renewable energy leaders from all walks of life, from government, business, science, education, entertainment, think tank institutions, and not for profit organizations," says AREDAY founder Chip Comins. "There has never been a gathering more important or more timely as our country sits poised to either take global leadership with supportive legislation and public will, or to jeopardize our future. Active participation in this dialogue right now can transition our nation into a safe and healthy future, both economically and environmentally."

The gathering will address how trillions of dollars per year spent on foreign oil can be invested in America's emerging new clean energy economy right now with existing talent, technology, and training. On the wake of the Gulf Spill, participants will strategize on how, together, we can harness the renewed momentum in our country to move from dirty and dangerous energy to clean, safe alternatives while creating new jobs.

This historical event is now open to participants, and all are encouraged to attend, join the dialogue, and play a key role in America's new clean energy economy. Assistance with purchasing tickets and lodging is available at AREDAY or contact AREDAY 970-948-9929, info@areday.net. By using CODE: 109 when registering, the Early Registration fee will apply.

Please join the hundreds of professionals who are turning our energy future around, not a moment too soon. See agenda and partial list of attendees and special guests coming to "Creating A New Clean Energy Economy at Speed and Scale" at AREDAY 2010 August 19-22, in Aspen.
